Here's another one from the food project. This is a Portabello Burger. Every bit as good as those burritos were:

May I offer a criticism?

The many tiny specular highlights given by the harsh on or near camera flash is kind of unappetizing. Maybe try shooting near a north-facing window or something?

It was on purpose, I get bored when I am fishing. I have a bunch of 5-15 year expired 120 and 220 film that I throw in the Holga when I need to relax a bit.

Right on. I see what you mean. I'm actually using an SB600 for my flash. I normally either bounce off the ceiling or use an index card to bounce the light. Rarely do i ever do a direct flash on my subject. Nonetheless, I do see the the shiny highlights you're talking about. Thanks

Oh cool. Why does expired film do that overlap thing?

So many fantastic pics. I love the bouncy puppy flashlight shot but you definitely have to know what it is to truly appreciate it. It makes me laugh.

You can do it with regular film, it's only because I purposely didn't advance it far enough.
